Felted floral fun!

It feels like the last few weeks have been a whirlwind - work was really busy, my children caught chickenpox (one after the other so it was dragged out for about a month) and I’ve been working on a side project I had hoped to launch this month (now looking like next month!). So it was nice to take a break from everything and make a simple wardrobe staple. I picked up a skirt length of this wool on our weekend in Rome last week - I wish I’d gotten more but it was pretty pricey 🤣 - and made a staple skirt for my work wardrobe. I don’t usually go for empire waistlines so drafted it with a gentle 2” rise rather than going higher. And off to work we go! #sewing #memadeeveryday #selfdrafted #rtwfast2018

My lovely hubby arranged an early birthday surprise - a couple of days in Rome without the kids. We had a guided tour of the city and he arranged for it to end at... a massive fabric shop!! Be still my beating heart 🤣. My sister says I literally look like a kid in a candy shop lol. #beautifulroma #artandarchitecture #andofcoursefabric #blessed

🤔 can’t work out why BA has fifteen bottles of wine open in its Lounge.. at 8am. Seems like a recipe for waste! No-one’s touched them since we’ve been here. #whyBAwhy #getaway

My latest #MCBN project is up on @minervacrafts today, featuring warm and snuggly jumpers 😊 .. if you’d like to read about me dipping my toe into the world of knitwear, see #linkinbio! I’m taking part in #rtwfast2018 so it’s good to know I can now knock up a jumper or two if need be!

It looks like your favourites were all my favourites! My #2017bestnine .. thank you sew much for all the encouragement, inspiration, advice, fun and conversation - #sewistsofinstagram are awesome. Here’s looking forward to a sewing-filled 2018! 😘💃🏾
